Oh that sounds really painful. Poor you! Are you putting any creams on the skin? Would that be too painful? I'm thinking I had this lavender gel from boots and it was great on a cold sore, not the same thing of course, but it took the heat and infection away and the soreness, quite quickly and was good for healing the skin too. Did dr not suggest somethjng?
You're a star and I hope you know it. ((Hugs))
